In this episode, Doug DeMuro takes us through the new Dodge Charger Daytona EV, a car that has stirred quite the controversy among enthusiasts. The Charger EV, replacing the iconic Challenger and Charger models, surprises with its engine noises despite being fully electric. With two versions available, the RT and the Scat Pack boasting up to 670 horsepower, this electric muscle car is no slouch in terms of performance. However, challenges arise with its weight, length, and pricing, starting at $61,500 for the base model and $74,000 for the Scat Pack.
One of the most distinctive features of the Charger EV is its unique badging known as the "fratzog," adding a touch of mystery and modernity to its appearance. The exterior design of the Charger EV, including a front wing and a hatchback trunk, gives it a bold and muscular look that sets it apart from its predecessors. Inside, the Charger EV surprises with a high-end interior featuring Alcantara seats with a circuit board pattern, emphasizing its transition to a fully electric era. Quirks such as a thunderous startup noise and a retro-style gear selector add character to this modern electric vehicle.
Despite the mixed reviews and controversial changes, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV aims to strike a balance between modernization and homage to its retro roots. With its blend of old-school charm and futuristic features, this electric muscle car is a bold step forward for Dodge, challenging traditional perceptions of performance cars. Doug DeMuro's review sheds light on the unique quirks and features of the Charger EV, offering enthusiasts a glimpse into the future of electric vehicles in the world of muscle cars.
